We're just one day away from bidding farewell to Doctor Who companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), who've travelled in the TARDIS alongside Matt Smith's Time Lord since 2010. We're predicting tears across the globe when 'The Angels Take Manhattan' airs on Saturday (September 29) night...

To mark the departure of the Ponds, this week's Friday Fiver recounts their greatest moments from the BBC sci-fi drama's past three series.

"Why did you say five minutes?!" - from 'The Eleventh Hour'
We had to include our favourite scene from Rory and Amy's debut, in which the Doctor finally makes the leap and realises that the sassy kissogram who's helping him save the world is the same red-headed little girl that he ate fish fingers and custard with years before... from her perspective at least. Over 30 episodes later, it's still one of our favourite Amy/Doctor scenes.

"Raggedy man, I﻿ remember you and you are late for my wedding!" - from 'The Big Bang'
The finale of Matt Smith's first series saw his Time Lord wiped from existence after rebooting the universe, but Amy's memory of her 'raggedy man' is enough to restore him to life. Soon, that big blue box is materialising in the middle of the Ponds' wedding, just in time for the Doctor to bust some truly amazing moves on the dance floor. One of the great 'punch-the-air' moments in the Eleventh Doctor's era.

"Where... is... my...wife?!" - from 'A Good Man Goes to War'
The once-bumbling Rory dons his Roman Centurion armour once more to go full bad-ass and stare down a horde of Cybermen in Who's 2011 mid-series finale. It was the culmination of a long and satisfying character arc for Arthur Darvill's companion, who rose from the ranks of comic-relief supporting character to fully fleshed-out series regular.

"Shut up Hitler!" - from 'Let's Kill Hitler'
Of course, Rory's new kick-ass credentials didn't stop him from delivering laughs, as the following episode proved. Darvill's equally adept at comedy and drama, and one of Rory's funniest scenes came in 'Let's Kill Hitler' as he laid first a physical and then a verbal smackdown on the Führer.

"If you love me, don't let me in." - from 'The Girl Who Waited'
And finally to one of the Ponds' most tragic moments, as Rory was forced to shut an aged Amy out of the TARDIS in order to preserve the timelines in Tom MacRae's excellent 'The Girl Who Waited'. Sure, the 'proper' Amy was already safe, but that didn't make this scene any less moving - there's something about Doctor Who and two people emoting through a wall, each unable to see the other, that gets us every time. Possibly Gillan and Darvill's greatest moment as an on-screen duo.
